2007-08-31 07:36:00
Deciduous trees thrive in a variety of climates. They are a hearty lot of trees but proper care is necessary to see that your deciduous trees flourish and survive.Call it being proactive, call it using your green-thumb, call it common horticultural knowledge. However you choose to see it, becoming deciduous-tree savvy is needed, and fairly easy to do. If you are unfamiliar with how to care for your deciduous trees, read on to build a knowledge-base to keep your trees healthy and promote longevity.Many deciduous trees, fruit trees especially, can survive in mountain regions--such as the apple tree or cherry tree, for instance. The apple tree requires extra chilling and cooler summer temps, so mountain regions offer this weather-bound setting. Many mountain regions, however, suffer from a risk of late frosts. Desert locations are another potential location for deciduous fruit trees. You rule out late frosts, for the most part anyway. Yet, mountain or foothill regions are, by far, a fa...

Watering trees and shrubs
2007-08-29 05:41:00
After purchasing trees or shrubs at our retail nursery store a few customers will come and ask why did it die? My usual response is: Jeez... did you water it? Nine time out of ten times they did not water according to our instructions.I will ask them how many times did you water? The average customers will say.. oh about once or twice per week. Once or twice per week is insufficient watering for a newly planted tree or shrub. You will need to water everyday day for at least 30 days....Do not skip a day! This inclues spring, summer and fall seasons. During winter you can water the first 2 weeks everyday then once or twice during the months of December, January, February then up the water usage about every other day.Make sure the water drains well. In mid summer you should water twice a day no matter where you live. Here are some responses I get from folks who did NOT water "I thought you said once per week for 30 days."

2007-08-29 05:40:00
Teak outdoor furniture seems to be all the rage these days; it is the new fashion when it comes to outdoor seating and natural fibers and materials seem to be the new fashion these days. The element behind teak outdoor furniture that sets it apart from other materials is that not only will it last up to 75 years if well cared for, but it can also withstand many of the things that Mother Nature can do to it while still standing durable and strong, holding up to two or three times the weight of other outdoor furniture materials.If teak outdoor furniture is so wonderful and is truly all that it is cracked up to be, then you are probably wondering why more people do not take the time to at least looking into getting some teak outdoor furniture of their own. The first stopping point may very well be the price of teak outdoor furniture.It is so costly to grow and maintain trees that yield teak wood as well as ship the wood from where it is grown overseas that the cost of teak outdoor furn...

Growing Organic Vegetables
2007-08-29 04:48:00
Many people know about the benefits of eating organic fruit and vegetables. However, not many people regularly eat organic food. The biggest disincentive is usually the price. Organ ic veggies are invariably a lot more expensive at the local supermarket. The good news is that anybody with even a modest vegetable garden can grow healthy organic vegetables for a much lower cost than they would buy off the shelf.Nevertheless, some people avoid growing their own vegetables because they are running short on space, time and the know-how to tend a successful veggie patch. However, organic gardening isn't as difficult as many people think.Mulching is one of the main secrets. The regular incorporation of old organic matter helps keep the soil functioning well. Mulching helps the soil retain moisture, suppresses weeds, reduces temperature fluctuations, and can prevent soil crusting. Many organic gardeners find that plant disease problems decline as the health of the soil improves.Of course, t...

Automatic Hose Reels
2007-08-25 18:05:00
One of the most ignored areas in your yard has to be the hose. If you are like most people, you just leave the hose in the yard when you are done using it. Then when you go to use the hose again it is kinked and tangled and creates even more work for you. Even for those of us who carefully return the hose next to the spigot find that it will kink the next time that we use it.Automatic Hose ReelThe solution to this problem is an Automatic Hose Reel. Automatic hose reels come in dozens of different styles so that you can choose the perfect one to match the d?cor of your house. They have models with a wood finish, open and closed styles, plus my favorite a model with a built in sink.

This means that for BBQ's or out door parties you can keep a sink outside to make life that much easier. The mos...

Gardening in the Fall
2007-08-25 18:05:00
Gardening in the fall can be one of the most rewarding times to be outside. The weather is cooler and all of the end of season flowers and plants being to bloom. One thing to remember is that when you winterize your garden you need to take care of your hose. Many landscapers are so busy winterizing their lawns, gardens, shrubs and trees that they quite forget about a piece of equipment that has served them well on all those areas of the landscape during the spring, summer and fall -- the garden hose. Our garden hoses lie around on their garden hose reels for so many months consecutively that they become a landscaping fixture that we take for granted. But northern gardeners pay a great price for this oversight when winter arrives, bringing temps in the teens. Bring garden hoses in for storage prior to winter! Also bring their reels in for storage, especially if the reels have any metal components. And more important than a garden hose being ruptured through freezing is what the garde...

Earlier we've talked about the differences between compost bins and compost tumblers, and let you, our wonderful composting audience, decide for yourselves on what you thought would work better for your needs. Well, let's put our differences aside and talk about worm composting, also known in the composting world as vermiculture or vermicomposting. There's really not much to it, we use worms, right? Right, but not just any worms; red wiggler worms or night crawlers are the preferred types of worms to use. Why not earthworms, you ask? Well, I'll explain that in a second, but let me first tell you why red wigglers and night crawlers are so beneficial to the composting process.Red wiggler worms, also known as red worms and by their scientific name of Eisenia fetida, are recognized as the best kind of composting worm.

How Does A Composting Pile Work?
2007-08-25 18:02:00
We know and understand that compost is "Backyard Magic" because compost helps restructure the soil, it reconditions the soil, it helps the soil hold onto its water thus protecting it from drought and erosion, and most importantly it puts nutrients back into the soil and by the same token into our food to help us stay healthy. There is just nothing comparable to the taste and value of food grown in organically healthy soil.By now you may be asking yourself this question: "So how does a compost pile work?"To help you understand the composting procedure, I will give you a general explanation of how a compost pile works.Without any help from people, leaves drop from a tree and, over time, decay into soft black humus. When an animal dies, its remains slowly return to the earth. Anything that once lived will eventually decompose.Composting is based on this natural process and begins with the thousands of micro-organisms which live naturally in soil. These micro-organisms feed on a moist h...

How To Add Air To Your Hot Compost Pile
2007-08-25 18:01:00
Air is one of the three essential requirements needed by the decomposer organisms in your compost pile.Because air penetrates only the first few inches of the pile, it needs help to reach the composting pile's center. Therefore if you suddenly get that nasty rotten egg smell around the compost, it means that anaerobic bacteria are moving in, and it's time to give your composting pile more air.In hot composting, plenty of air is essential to develop the high temperatures needed to kill harmful bacteria and speed the process of decomposition. Here are a few ways you can add air to your compost pile:1. Turning: The most effective method of introducing air is to turn the pile with a garden fork. Lift the material from the top and sides, toss it into the more active center of the new pile; then add the partially decomposed center to the outside. In other words, take the composting material from the outside and the top of your pile and exchange it with the composting material in the mid...

adding Food To The Compost Pile
2007-08-25 18:00:00
Decomposer organisms work best with as varied a diet as you feed them. The ingredients are all around us - almost anything that once lived is a candidate for the compost, so try for lots of variety to get a good mix of textures and plant nutrients.In composting jargon, woody materials (such as autumn leaves, paper, peat moss, sawdust, cornstalks, hay and straw, etc)that are high in carbon are called "brown" ingredients.Materials (such as garden refuse, manure, tea and coffee grounds, feathers, hair, and food scraps) that are high in nitrogen are called "green" ingredients.Some materials can actually be both: for example, fresh grass clippings are "green"; however, dried grass is "brown".For successful results, you can use the simple rule that compost needs to be about half "brown" and half "green" by weight. Don't bother to weigh your ingredients, though -- an estimate is fine.Composting soon becomes a matter of instinct, like the cook who bakes without a recipe. If the pile doesn...

Garden-fountains Can Be Provocative And Calming

Garden-fountains are provocative. They can be as noisy as a cascading waterfall or as serene as a water lily sitting on its surface. It might be a playfully bubbling garden-fountain or a mysterious black pool reflecting the silver moon. Its moods are elusive as it ripples, rushes, gurgles, splashes, drips, leaps, babbles, trickles, roars or simply lies still and quiet.Some admirers think water is as compelling as fire and a lot easier to control. Water can be introduced into the garden in a variety of ways, ranging from simple birdbaths and small fishponds to lavish garden-fountains and ambitious manmade waterfalls.Getting Started Planning a Stunning Garden-FountainThe quickest way to introduce the garden-fountain into the landscape is to set out a simple concrete birdbath.
